Ex-Aide to Roger Stone Held in Contempt for Refusing to Testify

A former associate of Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone says he will not testify in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. Miller's comments come as other members of Mueller's team are continuing their case against former Trump campaign chairman, Paul Manafort.

Miller worked for Stone during Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

The pressure on Stone threatens to bring the Russian Federation investigation even deeper into Trump's inner circle, but the eccentric political trickster told CNN on Wednesday there are "no circumstances" under which he would testify against the president. CNN first reported the subpoena.

Mueller has been focusing in recent months on Stone, who has had a decades-long relationship with Trump. She is expected to appear in federal court in Washington by midday Friday.

Miller had previously challenged the subpoena ordering him to testify before the grand jury, arguing that Mueller's appointment as special counsel was unconstitutional.
